Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and hit that notification bell if you haven't already. Thank you. 🤙
I am 70 years old, and the music was so slow even I, an Old Man couldn´t finish the video without falling asleep.
Wipeouts aside,......The unbelievable exhibition of nature and surfing coupled with the choice or music,.......just beautiful. Thanks.
Kai Lenny on the air drop and mega kudos for the music selection. Beautiful.
Kai Lenny...That drop was epic!!
So Fantastic. I watch a while, with my own serene 'Reiki' music, and I'm totally awed, inspired by nature, these humans, life's explosive possibilities -- bravo to waves, riders, photographers, UA-cam, and whomever shared this!! Many Thanks -- am moved from the dismal state of world in current virus crisis. grazie, gracias, merci, danke, toda, arigato, kawp-kun krap/ka' -- unite people!
🙏🏻 Take care, Deborah. We are all in this together. ❤️
I would like to congratulate all the surfers, the camera guys, and the soundtrack guys for the music, which really captures the majesty and limitless power of those waves..!!!
I grew up with rockn roll but doesn't cut it for this.
Kai Lenny for sure!....what a ride......! That drop!!! Oh yeah!
Just unbelievable and beautiful
KAIs air drop at 3:09 Brah straight fire !🔥🌊🏄🏼♂️🤙
Has my vote
That drop was sic to the 10th power! The spinkter was in full effect that day. I thought Kai and Nathan's double barrel at Jaws last week would get a mention just because of how big and how unique it was to get two in on one massive face like that. These guys are living the best life! 🏄🏼♂️🤙🌴
Never surfed or watched surfing, this is badass
You should give it a go, Will. You'll love it. 😉
@@surfertoday Thanks for the uploads, i'll be sure to when i get out to the coast!
@@willgrissom5398 🙏🏻
This generation of surfers sets the new bar! These guys do things that I could only imagine doing back in the 70’s, and it’s just really cool to watch now! Thank you gentlemen, I salute you all!!! You are the modern day Gladiators!
Posters of surfing videos take note- best music video. Beautiful surfing. Bless the ocean snd its riders.
Jesus i'm welling up watching this.....beyond awesome and humbling.
Kai Lenny FTW. Wow!! 💧🌪
Next level putting classical music to big wave surfing
Whoever chose that music deserves a fucking award. Totally works.
I love this music with the big waves,your so right it's next level, thank you so much for your insight
I was thinkin slayer but....
Agreed.
Music fit for a funeral home...... wrong choice
That right by Kai Lenny was awesome !!!
I thought for a second I was seeing things , after all its 5:00am and I've been up all night. But he really did drop that far.
Not to take away from any but those dudes dropping in without jet ski assist are are epic.
Fantastic video! Kai is the purest surfer on earth. Paddle or Tow he charges like no other. The heart of Laird with the swagger of Kelly.
Best, most appropriate music I've EVER heard on any surf video!
would be nice if they gave credit for whoever did the music
Added. It's "Drone in D" by Kevin MacLeod
@@surfertoday Nice, thank you.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_MacLeod
Check out Brian Eno's 1/1 off of Music for Airports!
Came across this by mistake, wow, what a watch, so intensely satisfying!! These guys have seeeerious game!
2:41 The evolution of surfing, and man, takes another step.
The surfers deserve huge credit for attempting unassisted lauches into waves with boards that are to large to control on such huge waves. The biggest part of the ride often unseen.
Amazing. For me it's the paddlers who are showing the most ability and bravery. By far.
Fabuleux !!! No words....
I've never surfed but this video makes me want to learn how to for sure.
I don’t know much about surfing, but the guy called Kai Lenny rides like he’s in charge.
He's a legend. To know more about him, check out this article: www.surfertoday.com/surfing/kai-lenny-interesting-facts-about-the-hawaiian-waterman
So many different kinds of waves, so many different camera angles. Sure, Kai Lenny for spectacular riding, but that wave at Cloudbreak 3:26 was amazing and he pulled it off perfectly.
Lenny for sure...what a ride! Yahooo!
the music: !!!!FANTASTIC!!!
Just me and my friends bringing our love of surfing and our lives full of smiles for miles with Hank talking us all threw his stoke for it all ☮️💚🏄
Great surfing. The music superficially reminds me of Brian Eno’s Ambient 1, Music For Airports. Excellent video.
You're absolutely right, Timmy. We do own Music for Airports, even though our favorite Brian Eno record is "Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks." 😉 We love ambient music and it really fits well in big wave surfing.
You hacked, my TV tubes-- damn terrorists!
Not one, hawaiian word-- or culture, shown -- by this, damn fool.
And you-- generated many LEDs!
I love the piano music.
Try Brian Eno's 1/1 - Music for Airports
Greatest achievements of human kind: -sliced bread- ❌ -the wheel- ❌ -landing on the moon- ❌
*Kai Lenny riding the lip, air dropping back in, sticking the landing and simply riding one of these bad boy behemoth monsters* ✅✅✅
That's it. 😆
Agreed! Never been done before!
This is amazing... They looks like astronauts in the space!
This is fuckin beautiful. Truly a testament to the power of nature and the hugeness of the human spirit. Best surf vid EVER. A+ music.
big respect for those who paddle in ! the spirit of surfing
It is so beautiful. I know that everything in the wave happens at a million miles an hour. I just hope for these great athletes that it slows down for them enough so they can enjoy the beauty and solitude inside that wave. With such a miniscule percentage of the people on this planet that can accomplish this amazing feat, I imagine every wave is as wonderful as the last. Cheers!
That's it, Nat. We would love to experience it, but we're not pros. It should unforgettable. ;)
yes, I could body surf little waves and get washed ashore and scraped over the sand, but this...
amazing cinematography and SURFING ! the soft music and slow motion is sedating however
super fitting video, all respect to all the surfers ans jetski drivers. stay blessed, stay safe. all of this reminds me to be alive!!!!
When I get to heaven, I'ma ride that wave Kai Lenny rode like a beast!
That was amazing!
Just love it when they paddle in for the beasts unassisted
2:40 Kai Lenny, airborne off the lip---SICK
That's got to be the best I've ever seen a person ride a wave in my life absolutely amazing
@@Jamesfoleyjr I know. It reminds me of Waimea, winter of '67. Me and Greg (Noll) & Gerry were only guys out. Paddled into this ignoramus wave, made the bottom-turn and LAUNCHED. Somehow pulled it back for a second go at the drop. Gregg was like, "Whoa dude!" and Gerry just speechless. So I showed 'em my trick for catching the bottom just right.
Funny, they never mentioned that in interviews. Some people....
I think they are all winners in my book. If you have never dropped anything close to a monster like any of the waves shown you should not even comment. Those guys have balls of steel.
We agree Robert. We don't have the slightest idea of how difficult and scary these waves are from their perspective. 👍🏻
Kai Lenny at Jaws literally looks like he's going 100 mph. Insane
The shortest of rides ad the biggest rush . Your life is literally on the line/ I have watched surfers at Mavericks surf 40+ foot waves and I loved it.
Awesome footage, great music. I wish I could surf those mountains
Come to south Florida we have monster waist high swells this time of year😂
@@whitestunna5773 What part of Florida?
@@ThePCDoctorsInc palmbeach county and north. I was joking really but we get our share of waves this time of year.
That beautiful song is Kevin MacLeod, Drone in D. Album: Tranquillity 5, from 2014. A really brilliant combo of waves, surf and piano!
No contest for Ride of the Year, Kai Lenny.
That music was perfect, thanks!!
💓🎵🏄Surfing Is The Most Breathtakingly Beautiful Sport I Have Ever Seen💓Awesome Video🎹🎵
Kai Lenny 1st and Grant Baker 2nd. That frontside by Kai on wave that big was gnarly. That drop in, barrel and wipeout by Grant were all world class.
Nice vid. Thanks for posting, SurferToday. Some great rides here. But Kai Lenny's fearlessness and athleticism are amazing.
I have never surfed... Wow thank you for the video. I have a new respect for wave riders.
Been beat up in 4 footers so... Absolutely insane. I'm speechless
Yep getting brained with your board will do miracles for your self Confidence!🤕
Kai Lenny. NO contest. The fact he went off the top, free fell and surfed it like a small wave - amazing!
He's an amazing athlete, John. And he will keep surprising us. ;)
Absolutely mental!
Big applause to all chargers!
Benza Deus 🏄♂️🌊 coisa linda d se ver.. d surfar 😭
Incredible!!!
I didn't know surfing was an art form.... now i know....
Great music.
kai lenny by far, nobody else can air drop 15 feet and ride out
Nicely done! It's crazy how peaceful this feels.
dislikers don't wanna understand the nature's generosity
There is something oddly so beautiful about this and I don't know why.
Billy Kemper......keep the stoke......so clean!
Great music..let's you focus on the ride .
🙏🏻
Años luz de los demas surfistas en olas gigantes.
Paddle award to me is wave of winter . Just a surfer a wave and a board .
You know a wave is big when you can surf the back of it
😂 You should write a few jokes for us. And we're going to add that one to this list: www.surfertoday.com/surfing/the-best-surfing-jokes-in-the-world
@@surfertoday hahahhaha thanks! I've just seen it there :) if I come up with another I'll send it your way
@@masterxyr 👌🏻
I give Kai Lenny surfer of the year.
Ramon Navarro got hosed!! His ride at Cloudbreak was the winner to me.
You gotta respect this
Makua Rothman knows how to wipe out in style. Not just caught up in the white water, he managed to pipeline the wipeout. If he survived I wonder if he could manage to do it again just for the camera angles.
I got two cervical herniated discs just by watching this
😆
Omg super love it... big persons xx🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♂️
They are. Warriors of the swells. ;)
The music is also good.
I feel that I’m in the nature.
Surfing Nazare and not crashing should be the winner.
Kai Lenny carving it up like it’s ham
Pedro Calado made the most impressive drop! (I'm at mn 16, need to see them all, all of them are impressive!)
Kai Lenny, no contest!
That Navarro bomb at 3;34 looks shopped....toss up between him and Lenny.
O Surf é você curtir ao máximo cada momento na água, você e sua prancha são um só é, como se o tempo nunca passasse é um momento único, eles curtem ao máximo esse tempo
Grant Baker in the beginning ride. Paddle in, got deep, and came so close to making it out as a body surfer.
😆Who said big wave bodysurfing isn't exciting?
how big that wave at 7:27 .. 🙀🙀🙀
Kai Lenny no contest that was impressive. A tube most people can do it but what he did in that wave a very few would try it and succeed.
Humans ride these things. And no one died. Not sure which fact is more awesome.
Neither do we. :)
Have to agree with a lot of others. Kai rides the wave, others look like their being ridden by it and hanging on for dear life. Best wipeout Cloudbreak far and away.
If Grant Baker makes it out of that barrel it is the best wave I have ever seen hands down. Nevertheless crazy wave, Can't imagine what it would be like paddling for that and having to get timing and placement, just so crazy to witness.
That is some funeral music Play My Name Is Mud while you're riding that wave Primus you'll love it
Should there be a category for paddle only?
There's a "Biggest Paddle Award" and then "Ride of the Year" and "Biggest Wave."
@Abu Dabu It's a valid argument. But it's the WSL who decides - not us. 😉
Beautiful...
Att beginning Magic jump unrreal perfect control
It's a stunning moment, indeed. 🤙🏻
13:53 is the same wave as the first one - IMHO the best! Go homeboy Twiggy!
My vote is Healey at pipe 2nd reef
Préparation is sometimes not enough. Against these monsters.! R.i.P
These are real gladiators
Ya, I will pile on the Kai Lenny vote.. Even though tow in gives you that measure of security with those foot straps he still thought to draw those lines on the face of a wave when most would just be happy to make the drop and be done with it.. Que Legal Brah..
Fair enough. 😉
This is perfect in so many levels.
Perfect Zen and tranquility as these monsters approach.
What;s the music playing in the background ?
It's "Drone in D" by Kevin MacLeod.
@@surfertoday tnx!
Please whose music is this? It goes with the waves perfectly.
There should be categories for both, paddled wave and towed wave award, it requieres the same amount of guts at some point but the feet grip its a major factor to sustain all that force, just my bit, and yes im less than average joe, to be fair ^^ .
Kai hit the monster in its lip
